    A few weeks ago I went round the race track in the Dino. The next day I had a spongy brake pedal. I assumed I had over done it and just boiled the brakes. However after relatively modest driving recently it has done it again - that typical feeling of air in the system again bleeding has sorted it, in the short term but I think something is deteriorating. I would be grateful if anyone has any ideas before I start taking bits apart.
    many thanks

    The most likely thing is boiled brake fluid as I think it unlikely to be a deterioration in the system (this would show itself as a leak). What you need is a good flushing of the system with fresh fluid. Start with a big syringe and suck out most of the fluid in the resevoir, then pour in new fluid and bleed the system starting with the furthest caliper from the master cylinder working towards the closest. Keep your eye on the master cylinder level and keep it topped up. I'm mainly certain that this will solve your problem and kudos to you for tracking your Dino.
